That is definitely a Skyman, the Super version with ailerons.

 

The hump behind the wing is just rear end of the wing seat. The wing has been banded on too far forward.

 

The Galaxy Escort is basically the same as the Skyman except the fin which is shaped a bit differently, with a strake.
 

I have three of them, the GT version with a semi-symmetrical wing. Mine are fairly recent builds, with built-up wings instead of the original foam. 2 are IC, one electric. They fly very well.


I was going to post a photo but can only get it to attach upside down, using my phone.

Very nice find Roy!  Was that the kit that 'A Plane Olde Bargain' was advertising recently?
Is this completed one on Ebay a Simple Skyman or Escort?  It appears to have a strange hump behind the wing, or is the wing too far forward?

I spent ages searching "Galaxy Models Escort" on Google.  Very interesting, but I didn't see any model aeroplanes... 🤪

Your right Robin the first one was with Plane Olde Bargain, that had a built up wing still 3ch then this other kit pop up. 

 

This built one looks quite tidy even if the wing is along way forwards.
